Female calves were born using embryo implantation technique in Madhya Pradesh

Researchers at Nana J Deshmukh University of Veterinary Sciences, in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, have succeeded in raising two calves using embryo implantation technology. Exploitation is carried out with the aim of improving the quality of livestock. Embryo implantation technology involves raising cows using embryos and semen from cows of superior breed, which are then transplanted into less productive cows. This technology is believed to revolutionize animal husbandry in India. “It is our governor’s dream project adopted by the institute. We brought sick cows from the barn and using genetic plasma from a Sahiwal cow, we performed an embryo transplant. As a result, two calves were born today,” said Vice President S. with me. Mishra for ANI.

The authorities are developing a plan to convert the stables into dairy farms. To achieve transformation, embryo implantation technology will play a central role as it will also affect cows’ milk production. By raising highly productive calves, the governor aims to increase milk production by nearly 10 times the current production.
